reading for the year

Surprisingly (it didn't feel like it), I read more books this year than any other year since I started paying attention. Some of these were re-reads of things I'd recently unpacked after spending 3 years in a Brunswick garage - a few things by Kobo Abe and some William S. Burroughs stuff I hoped might inspire me (or something). I picked up some more Charles Bukowski and J.G. Ballard stuff in second-hand bookshops in Chiang Mai, which fed my insatiable appetite for words by either of those two men. I finally read Our Man in Havana, thanks to a nice little second-hand shop in Thornbury (pictured above). Still, re-examining the list reveals a fairly narrow range of reading, which I feel I ought to try and do something about next year.

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.
